Abstract:
The North Carolina Industrial Commission ruled that a pet’s life has no value beyond the cost of a new dog of the same type. A pet has no intrinsic value. The ruling was made after NC State was accused of accidentally killing a dog and the owner’s sued. Pet owners, Herbert and Nancy Shera will appeal the ruling. Their lawyer noted several mistakes that occurred during the trial and ruling and he is optimistic the ruling will be overturned.

Abstract:
Not only did people lose homes and property during Hurricane Floyd, many were separated from their pets. Over 1,200 rescued animals were scattered in shelters around the state. Many never were reunited with their owners. In 2003, the State Animal Response Team (SART) partnered with other organizations to provide micro-chips to identify pets. To date, only 56,000 of the state's estimated 2.6 million companion animals have been equipped in this manner.

Abstract:
The College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University offers emergency and specialty treatment to family pets. The animal hospital provides pet owners with an array of treatment options that didn't exist in the past, like chemotherapy for a pet with cancer. Pets arrive from in-state and all across the country. Because it is a teaching hospital, the pets receive a lot of attention from the staff. Nationwide, pet owners spend an estimated $9.4 billion on pet care annually. At NCSU, radiation treatment can cost $4,000 and a kidney transplant for a cat up to $10,000.
